As part of the National Centre for Creative Health (NCCH) and All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing (APPG) Creative Health Review, the Review has commissioned a range of artists with their own lived experience to respond creatively to each of the Review's roundtable themes.
“For me it saved my life. Arts gave me that access to see the world differently and for the world to see me differently. When I was living on the streets I had a camera and instead of having a stigma attached to me as a homeless dude, they saw you as a photographer. You were given that up-step. That’s what empowers people, that’s what picks people up, that’s what gives them good wellbeing and resilience”
